Travelodge £15 rooms (merged)

Comments

  • You usually get a king size bed plus a bedsettee with a pull out bed under.
    The rooms we've stayed in have always been quite spacious & we've stayed in many different Travelodges over the years due to work.

    They're not the Ritz but usually are a pretty good standard & at £15 a bargain.

    Travelodges - are they any good for a family of 4?

    Is it 4 to a room or are there any options?

    We are a family of 5 and twice now have booked 2 rooms as the maximum occupancy even in family rooms is 4. In both cases we were given rooms facing each other across the corridor - which is closer than next door to each other (as they do not generally have rooms with inter-connecting doors). However, I have not felt comfortable with the kids (aged 4,6 & 8) sleeping in one room with us in the other - in case they woke in the night or wandered out of the room (the doors look behind you) or something like that, so we have ended up with one adult in each room with 1 or 2 kids.

    However, I think that we could easily sleep all 5 of us in one family room as they usually have a double bed + a double and single sofa-bed type arrangement. We are therefore considering booking just one family room and one of the adults could then do the checking in process alone - declaring only 2 kids. We would then all reappear later on and wander off to the room - I can't imagine that we would be challenged.

    Has anyone tried this? - what do you think?

    I'm certain it would work.

    Travelodge only "care" because they need to be seen to adhering to fire regulations etc in the event of problems. No business can be reasonably expected to police such a policy by having a bouncer on each room door clicking people in and out to keep count of the occupants.

    I'm sure they only care because of safety, rather than trying to squeeze extra profits out of customers, it'll be fine.

    Carmen,

    Book a room now at 'normal' rates for the dates you require. You should not have to pay for the room until you arrive and, unless their policy has changed, you have up until 4pm on the day of arival to cancel the room. Then, nearer the time, keep checking your emails (or on this website) to find out when / if they have the special offer rooms available. As soon as they are released book the offer room.

    However, be aware that when you book the special offer £10/£15 rooms you have to pay when you book.

    DON'T FORGET TO CANCEL THE ORIGINAL ROOM OR YOU WILL BE CHARGED.

    There's also a limit on 2 adults - but before we've had 4 in there. I was going to a gig in portsmouth with a friend. We both checked in as the pair into our family room. Got our keys. After the gig we brought back 2 friends and walked into our room happily as can be. The next morning we left together and no one knew.

    So yes this will work fine.

    If you do a supersaver search you will find that just about every lodge in the country has £15 rooms avalible on one date,sun 25th feb inicluding London and city centres.
    However if you try and book,it comes up with the sorry...but message.
    Maybe they are starting to load dates into the system.
